Scientific and technical updates

• Bjorn Backeberg (EGI.eu)

Description

This session will provide technical and scientific updates including changes to infrastructure resources, improved scheduling efficiency of user analysis jobs, new technologies facilitating workflow development and deployment to cloud resources, data cataloguing activities, and scientific use cases leveraging distributed compute and data resources.

5. NGI_CZ Operational Experience

Alexandr Mikula (CESNET)

08/05/2019, 11:00

Presentation

NGI_CZ provides several types of computing resources to research communities: national distributed infrastructure Metacentrum based on PBS servers, cloud resources connected to FedCloud and 2 computing clusters registered as 2 sites in the GOCDB. We will cover recent changes in the prague_cesnet_lcg2 site caused by change of location and hardware updates. There are also 2 critical servers...

8. Boosting the CMS computing efficiency for data taking at higher luminosities

Leonardo Cristella (CERN)

08/05/2019, 11:15

Presentation

Thousands of physicists continuously analyze data collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) using the CMS Remote Analysis Builder (CRAB) and the CMS global pool to exploit the resources of the World LHC Computing Grid. Efficient use of such an extensive and expensive system is crucial and the previous design needs to be upgraded for the next...

12. DARE: Integrating solutions for Data-Intensive and Reproducible Science

Alessandro Spinuso (KNMI)

08/05/2019, 11:30

Presentation

The DARE (Delivering Agile Research Excellence on European e-Infrastructures) project is implementing solutions to enable user-driven reproducible computations that involve complex and data-intensive methods. The project aims at providing a platform and a working environment for professionals such as Domain Experts, Computational Scientists and Research Developers. These can compose, use and...

6. A metadata repository (MDR) for clinical study objects

Mr Sergei Goryanin (ECRIN)

08/05/2019, 11:45

Presentation

In order to keep track with evidence generation in medicine it is necessary not only to have access to results from clinical studies in publications but also to the individual participant data as well as all related study documents (e.g. study protocol , statistical analysis plan, case report form). Data and document sharing is more and more propagated, however, the researcher is faced with a...

18. VIP, Boutiques, CARMIN and Dirac to access distributed compute and storage resources

Axel Bonnet (CNRS)

08/05/2019, 12:00

Presentation

The Virtual Imaging Platform (VIP) is a web portal which provides access to computing and data resources. It relies on the French national DIRAC service (https://dirac.in2p3.fr/DIRAC) for job submission. The DIRAC Workload Management Service (WMS) integrates resources provisioned by grid and cloud infrastructures but also by supercomputers, standalone computing farms or even volunteer...

11. Using federated cloud computing services and tools to support ocean search and rescue: A use case of the Lagrangian Ocean Search Targets (LOST) application

Mr Michael Hart-Davis (Nelson Mandela University, Nansen-Tutu Centre for Marine Environmental Research)

08/05/2019, 12:15

Presentation

Finding a person (or object) lost at sea is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Improving the procedures and the efficiency of search and rescue operations will assist us with saving lives and locating valuable objects that have been lost in the ocean. There are currently a range of techniques for locating objects in the ocean, from people using their experience of the ocean to make rough...
